Due to the somewhat awkwardly laid out cycle paths in the surrounding area, at least 50% of cyclists unfortunately come towards you on the wrong side, which often leads to unpleasant situations.

Unfortunately, the pedestrian and cycle path layout on the Delftor Bridge is somewhat confusing: Although separate paths are visually recognizable, both sides are designated as a shared pedestrian and cycle path.
